Talvi and Joulupukki

Jingle, Jingle, Jingle…

Into the raven-black night, bound Joulupukki (Yo-La-Poo-Kee) and Talvi (Tal-Vee).

Their small lantern guides the way through the frigid cold snow, giving them just enough light to see their way on this solemn silent night.

Behind Joulupukki sits an amazing magical bag, it’s filled with gifts to delight, which will bring joy to all who have slept safely through this silent night.

Talvi the squirrel pulls the sleigh with all his vigor and might, knowing each house they visit will have plates filled with delicious roasted nuts…that will taste just right!

Joulupukki and Talvi quickly glide through the icy cold snow, while the Christmas tree above them shines a warm light from its star's golden glow.

Silently still sit all the small houses on the top of the hill, silver-gray smoke rises out of their chimneys and twinkling light dances upon each windowsill.

There are jolly occasions taking place inside these houses on the hill, as Talvi and Joulupukki glide through the snow that lays silent and still. 

Soon all the warm lights will be turned softly down, as the residents inside find their pillows, to sleep safe and sound. 

This silent night is joyous to many, but not all…some do not have this spirit they call Christmas to light their day, some are saddened, for their hearts have been put away. 

So if you go out into this silent night…be like Talvi and Joulupukki who share the spirit of Christmas and don’t forget to bring your warm gift of light!

Tony Squirrel

Tony Squirrel is on the way!

He is off to visit family on this November day!

His big bike is specially made, its wheels spinning fast…helping him get to the feasting parade.

His tiny toes barely touch the petals…but Tony still makes haste, no time to settle.

His baskets are full with harvest treats, some for him and all he loves…to eat.

Pockets filled with acorns too…but they’ll empty before his trip is through.

His wool cap is pulled tight, knitted with warm autumn colors and it fits just right!

Brightly colored leaves blow by, floating along with the puffy gray clouds in the sky.

Small creatures’ busy everywhere…eating autumn treats without a care.

Yes! Tony Squirrel scurries all around…but has no worries…he knows he’ll get where he’s going safe and sound….

Bat-a-Boo and Luna Light

Bat-a-Boo and Luna Light

“Who is that out at night? Who is floating here among my moonlight?”

“Excuse me please. It is only me…Bat-a-Boo…I have lost my way on this Halloween night.”

“Why is such a little ghost like yourself roaming about all on his own? Why are you not tucked up tight in a hauntingly warm home? Please, tell me….  Oh! Where are my manners? May I introduce myself…I am Luna Light. I have been given the good fortune to watch over the world at night.” 

“Well you see dear Luna Light, I was out haunting with a group of spooktacular graveyard friends and I stopped to read a silly sounding gravestone, that gave me a ghostly giggle. When I looked up from my amusement, I realized I was all alone in a place that is far from my home.” 

“Bat-a-Boo you need to be more careful when you are floating around…you need to keep yourself happy while being safe and sound. Now follow my beaming light, I will help you find your way tonight.” 

“Thank you dear Luna Light! For I have been ever so worried and filled with tremendous fright!” 

Soon, together Luna Light and Bat-a-Boo found their way to his home.

“Now remember my dear Bat-a-Boo…never lose sight of your ghostly friends when haunting the graveyard where all the spirits ascend.”

“Oh! I won’t dear Luna Light! And thank you for helping me find my way through this Halloween night….”
